[English]

I've listened to it many times

Endless worries, worries that never go away

I don't know about tomorrow, but

If everyone's on their own path, no one can smile

What's missing?

Things I don't understand, I can't understand

Because nothing really has meaning

We do our best to not hurt each other

I just want to keep laughing, but

It’s not going quite right, is it?

For some reason

Whenever I think of you

There’s something stuck and I can’t get it out

I feel like it’s there

But you know

It’s not that I’m sad or anything

I won’t forget, no matter how many decades pass

Sadness, cease

I’ll say it again and again

You were a special presence

I don’t know about tomorrow, but

If everyone’s dreams are theirs, no one can laugh

I wonder when it started

That I only fear things

That I’m not really myself

Living with a feeling like I’m being manipulated

Even if I let go of your hand

It’s not like everything disappears

For some reason

Whenever I think of you

There’s something stuck and I can’t get it out

I feel like it’s there

But you know

It’s not that I’m sad or anything

I won’t forget, no matter how many decades pass

Sadness, cease

What’s missing?

I don’t understand what I don’t understand

Because nothing really has meaning

We try to avoid hurting each other

For some reason

Whenever I think of you

There’s something stuck and I can’t get it out

I feel like it’s there

I don’t want this

Whenever I think of you

Doubts I’ve been hesitating on forever

They’re starting to dull

But you know

Thank you for being part of it

I won’t forget, no matter how many decades pass

Sadness, cease

[Japanese]

何度も聞いた

悩みが尽きない悩み

明日のことわからないけど

それぞれの道なら誰も笑えない

何が足りない？

わからないことがわからない

全てに意味がないから

お互いが傷つかないようにして

ただ笑っていたいけど

なかなかうまくいかないね

なぜか

君のことを思い出すと

ずっとつっかえて取れないものが

ある気がするんだ

でもね

辛いとかそういうんじゃないんだ

何十年だって忘れないよ

悲しみよ止まれ

何度も言うよ

特別な存在だった

明日のことわからないけど

それぞれの夢なら誰も笑えない

いつからだろう

怖いものばかりになって

自分が自分じゃないような

感覚に弄ばれてるようで

手を離してしまっても

全てが消えるわけないじゃん

なぜか

君のことを思い出すと

ずっとつっかえて取れないものが

ある気がするんだ

でもね

辛いとかそういうんじゃないんだ

何十年だって忘れないよ

悲しみよ止まれ

何が足りない？

わからないことがわからない

全てに意味がないから

お互いが傷つかないようにして

なぜか

君のことを思い出すと

ずっとつっかえて取れないものが

ある気がするんだ

やだな

君のことを思い出せば

ずっと躊躇っていた決断が

鈍くなってきそうだ

でもね

君のおかげさありがとう

何十年だって忘れないよ

悲しみよ止まれ
